Question : You work for a company named ABC.com. Your role as Cloud Administrator includes the management of the company's Microsoft Azure subscription. The company has a web application hosted in Microsoft Azure cloud services. The web application is named TK-Portal and is accessed using the URL portal.ABC.com. The web application is used by company employees and customers around the world. Two cloud service medium instances are used to host the web application. The web application uses the Azure Queue storage service. Following a company marketing campaign, you are expecting increased web application usage. You need to ensure that the web application remains responsive during periods of increased traffic. Your solution must minimize hosting costs and administrative overhead. Which of the following solutions should you recommend?
1. Configure geo-redundant storage for the Azure storage account. 2. Configure an additional endpoint for the web application. 3. Configure auto-scaling based on queue length for the cloud service. 4. Increase the cloud service instance count to three.
5. Configure the instances as large instances.
Correct Answer : 3 Explanation: Scaling your application by adjusting the number of role instances may not be the best or only way to scale your application. For example, you may want to modify the behavior of your application in some way during bursts in demand, or to alter the number of Azure queues, or the size of your SQL Azure database. An autoscaling solution may not be limited to just adjusting the number of role instances. The Autoscaling Application Block can monitor the value of performance counters, Azure queue lengths, instance counts, and any custom-defined business metrics to scale the application when those values exceed specified thresholds. The application block refers to these values as operands, where an operand defines three things: The counter or metric The aggregate function, such as average or maximum The time interval over which the application block calculates the aggregate function For example, the Autoscaling Application Block can monitor the CPU usage of your web role instances. When the CPU usage performance counter average for the last hour goes above a threshold of 80%, the rule will perform an action to add new web role instances to handle this load, which should cause the average CPU usage levels to drop (assuming the load does not increase significantly). It will continue to add web role instances until the average CPU usage falls below the threshold. The reverse works as well. For example, if the average CPU usage over the last hour falls below a threshold of 40% then the rule will perform an action to remove web role instances until the average CPU usage is above the threshold value. Reactive rules can adjust the role instance account by an absolute number or by a proportion. Typically, reactive rules are paired with one rule to scale up/out and another to scale down/in.
Question : You work for a company named ABC.com. Your role as Cloud Administrator includes the management of the company's Microsoft Azure subscription. The company has a web application hosted in Microsoft Azure cloud services. You have one cloud service named ABCCorpService. Two instances of the service host the web application with a role named ABCCorpWebRole. You want to increase the instance count of the cloud service to cope with increased web application demand. Which of the following PowerShell cmdlets should you use to increase the instance count?
Correct Answer : 4 Explanation: The Set-AzureRole cmdlet sets the number of instances of a specified role to run in an Azure deployment.
Question : Your role of Systems Administrator at ABC.com includes the management of the company's virtual infrastructure. The company has two offices. Each office has a datacenter. Each datacenter has a high-bandwidth Internet connection. There is no dedicated WAN (Wide Area Network) link between the offices. The company has virtual machines running in an on-premise virtual environment in each datacenter. The virtual environment consists of Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V host servers. You want to create a site-to-site VPN connection between the two offices. You plan to configure a Windows Server 2012 server running Routing and Remote Access (RRAS) in each datacenter to function as a VPN server. You need to determine the IP addressing requirements for the VPN solution. You want to use the minimum number of IP addresses. Which of the following configurations should you use?
1. One public IPv4 address per server. 2. Two contiguous public IPv4 addresses per server. 3. Two contiguous public IPv6 addresses per server. 4. One private IPv6 address per server.
Correct Answer : 1 Connect directly to a virtual machine by assigning it an instance-level public IP address (PIP). Learn how they work
Instance-level public IP addresses cost ?0.25/hour per IP (about ?181/month per IP based on 744 hours usage). You can assign up to 5 Instance-level IP addresses per subscription. Why should I request an ILPIP? If you want to be able to connect to your VM or role instance by an IP address assigned directly to it, rather than using the cloud service VIP:, request an ILPIP for your VM or your role instance. - Passive FTP - By having an ILPIP on your VM, you can receive traffic on just about any port, you will not have to open up an endpoint to receive traffic. This enables scenarios like passive FTP where the ports are chosen dynamically. - Outbound IP - Outbound traffic originating from the VM goes out with the ILPIP as the source and this uniquely identifies the VM to external entities.
